Be A Pro defensive grading
Seems to me that the grading handed out in Be A Pro mode is overly strict, far more so than the grading for offense and team play. My avatar player gives up zero goals and only five or so shots on goal the entire game, and yet my defensive grade for the game is B-.
I realize that blocking shots, or stealing the puck counts for the grade, but there isn't sufficient weight given to denial of the opponent's shooting opportunities. I mean what's better quality defense, denying the opponent shots on goal through clogging up the neutral zone, or preventing the opponent from getting set to pass the puck around, or letting the opponent get set up for shots and then blocking them, or stick checking the puck away?
In my view, there isn't proper grading for denying the opponent the offensive zone.
